Aims & Scope

Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis (MMA) focuses on the art and science of preparing, interpreting, and analyzing microstructures in engineered materials to better understand materials behavior and performance. MMA covers the methods of evaluation of microstructures in engineered materials for use in a wide range of applications. Coverage includes new techniques which help examine, interpret, and analyze microstructures and microstructural properties in metals, alloys, and ceramics. Journal content examines how microstructure is influenced by factors including thermal and mechanical processing, environmental degradation, and joining and welding. MMA examines the ways in which microstructure is influenced by tribological interactions, additive manufacturing, and more. Readers may submit guesses to identify the Mystery Micrograph in every issue.

Frequently asked questions about Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis

Is Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 72/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis?

Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 1.27.
